The Ship in this Picture is the SS United States, It is currently docked in Philadelphia PA, It was and is the Fastest super-liner ever built.
The "Big U" is currently owned by NCL\Star (Norwegian Cruise Lines). They have let it sit at the dock in phily for YEARS! with NO upkeep at all.
Every year they say they are going to "return to service" the ship. But if they leave the ship any longer it will deteriorate beyond repair.
What can you do?
Write to NCL\Star and ask for the ship to be "returned to service"
7665 Corporate Center Drive Miami, Florida 33126
